Group 1: Modeling and Data Assimilation
Summary:1. HPC access, HPC access, HPC access2. resources: personnel inside (e.g. EMC) and externally funded
(NOAA, other projects, visitors), code documentation/wikis, computing (e.g. CFSv3 50PB!)
3. "Easy" access to model codes and development tools, e.g. a "hierarchy" of model components, metrics
4. communication --on above with EMC points of contact5. Efficient R2O process involves above6. sustained investment (by EMC, NCEP, NWS, NOAA...)

Facilitating external collaboration in CFS development
• The primary task of CFS is operational coupled ensemble prediction between 2 weeks and a year.
• Our vision is that all NCEP prediction models be the most skillful in the world, and their outputs be freely, widely and wisely used.
• The US has the largest and strongest scientific community in weather and climate science in the world.
• This community would embrace a CFS designed to facilitate community use, testing and collaborative model development, in which they have a stake. This process has begun but to transform CFS it must go much further.
• Keeping the CFS tightly unified with GFS will leverage the resources of the US weather community and allow the software engineering and infrastructure needed for this vision.

Examples of external CFS users
• Use CFS outputs and reanalyses (already active) for diverse applications (hydro, fire, ag, health, etc.)
• Use CFS as part of an MME (already active)• Run CFS for fundamental analysis of climate variability or
extreme events• Run CFS for predictability and attribution studies• Improve data assimilation methodology / OSSEs• Improve model physics and dynamics; reduce biases• Add new earth system processes (e.g. chemistry)• Improve ensemble statistics …

Moving to this vision• With enough R2O support, a large active pool of external model users
accelerates system improvement, as they are motivated to help solve the problems they encounter
• Required elements of such R2O support ✓ CPT-like support for transitioning promising high-priority
improvements to operations ✓ Clear metrics to measure model improvement ✓ Clear internal strategic plan for model development - Comprehensive on-line documentation - Extensive, user-friendly run scripts, input files, and basic diagnostic
packages on accessible HPC. - Clear internal EMC points of contact• A sustained investment in these elements pays off!

Resources: Compute/Storage
11
• Development work on WCOSS, with collaborations on Theia, Gaea, etc.
• Model code/scripts on EMC/Svn.
• Production/reforecasts -- “Cloud Computing”? (has to be done on a computer we can manage ourselves with dedicated queues and computer hours –”dedicated resources”). TBD NLT Jan 2017.
• Storage/Dissemination: HPSS, the “Cloud”(?) –e.g. Amazon and/or Internal/NCO . TBD NLT Jan 2017.
• Resolution upgrade (4x) and number of ensemble members (5x) = 20x ~50PB!

Collaborations
12
• Svn: codes, scripts to be checked out by collaborators, including single column model, physics component simulators.
• “Test Harness” 9 years/seasons of warm/cold/neutral ENSO (for fast turnaround to test e.g. physics changes):• May starts -summer (JJA)• Nov starts -winter (DJF)
• Control runs to be done at EMC, with initial & boundary conditions, etc available.
• Corresponding Diagnostics and Verification Packages, “Climate Scorecard”.
• Visiting Scientist Program to promote R2O, example to invite leading scientists to visit EMC for 1-12 months.

Predictions for all spatial and temporal scales will be ensemble based.
There will be a continuous process of making coupled Reanalysis and Reforecasts for every implementation (weather, sub-seasonal and seasonal)
Since the resolution of all parts of the system is usually increased with every new implementation (in proportion to the increased computing power currently available), there is the possibility of exploring cheaper cloud computing and storage options for making these reanalysis/reforecasts.
